Just this year the Univ.of Calif.at San Diego Libraries developed a policy
on this issue. Guidelines were written up, in general restricting children
from all the UCSD libraries (w/ exceptions of course). I am sure that if
you E-Mail Phyllis Mirsky, Assoc Univ. Librarian, she could send you a copy
of the guidelines.
